That Dark Cloud.

  • NB: I am currently going through some very sensitive time consuming things. These things have to do with some very terrible incidents that happened in my past. When I wrote this I was not feeling very brave. But I am feeling much braver now. I am sorry if this makes anyone sad.

    That Dark Cloud.

    All around me is a very dark cloud
    Can’t out run it, even if I go fast
    Keep hoping to find a way out,
    But I can’t see… Its just to dark.

    I really hope there is a break soon
    For sunshine to begin to come through
    I just need a little bit of hope you see,
    I don’t know how much longer I can be.

    I have to turn around and face the past
    And Find a way through all this dark.
    Accept what happened was not my fault
    Come to terms with what has been and gone

    But I can’t…
    I just can’t…
    I wish I was brave
    But I am a coward,
    I am afraid

    The past is terrifying
    A monster in the night
    But unless I can do this…
    I will be haunted for life.

    I wonder if people will think less of me
    For what I have been through and what I have seen
    Will judge me and my decisions made?
    Can they still treat me the same?

    I guess I should stop thinking now
    Its not like I will face the past
    Like I said, I am a coward
    And that is why I remain in the dark.

    And look at how much you’ve faced, and how very far you’ve come. I’m glad you’re still alive and trying. Hugs and hugs

    I’d never think less of you for not feeling brave. I’m glad you’re feeling more brave now, though. *hug*
